FULL CATALOG OF DOWNLOAD LINKS AND ENCYCLOPEDIA INDEX HERE Lesson Snapshot Title: Marbles Genre: Nonfiction Subject: Reading (Informational Text) Primary Topic: What marbles are, how they’re used, and history Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): Q What This Lesson Teaches Best Defines what marbles are and what they can be made from (glass, clay, plastic, steel, agate). Explains a classic marble game using clear, step-by-step details (ring on the ground, shooter, “for fair,” “for keeps,” “knuckling”). Builds background knowledge by tracing marbles across time and places (2500 BCE, Rome, medieval times, Britain, India). Uses headings to organize information into sections (game rules, history, and modern designs/collecting). Uses vivid descriptive language to help readers picture marbles (colors that “float inside,” “tiny galaxies,” “ribbons of color”). Learning Goals Describe what a marble is and list materials marbles can be made from. Explain how the classic ring game works, including what a shooter does. Tell what “for fair” and “for keeps” mean in the game. Describe how marbles connect to history using details from the text (places and time periods). Use section headings to locate and share information about games, history, and marbles today. Describe how the author explains what marbles look like in sunlight and in clear glass. Key Vocabulary From the Text Agate — a pretty kind of stone used for some marbles. Shooter — a bigger marble used to knock other marbles. Archaeologists — people who find and study things from long ago. Medieval — from a long-ago time in history. Galaxies — huge groups of stars; here, a way to describe patterns.

This video provides explanations and many examples to support student learning. You can implement this video at the introduction of teaching this math skill. The objective is to provide students with a visual and concrete example for solving a variety of subtraction problems. This would be a song that I play multiple times for my students across the course of this unit . It is an MP4 file, so you can download it and have the option of embedding it into any slideshow you may be using for instruction. I hope you enjoy!

This Guided Reading Book - The Long Journey of a Comet (Level N) with lesson plan includes: Guided Reading Color Label (front cover x1) This is a quick way to match the book’s demands to what students can generally handle.. The overall goal is to use the level/color to pick books for several smaller groups. To qualify for a certain level, a student is expected to read a book from that level with about 90–94% accuracy. If a student is consistently accurate and understands, move up a level. If the student is struggling at that level, drop down and add more support. Each student will improve at completely different rates, but it is generally one of the best ways to check progress across the class. DOWNLOAD THE CATALOG TO VIEW ALL GUIDED READING BOOKS AVAILABLE (SORTED LEVELS A-Z) Pre-Reading Question (x1) Teacher asks the prompt aloud, can be while showing the cover or first page. Students share what they already know, or make educated guesses from the cover. Prompt them to use the target vocabulary. Write some of their responses on the board to look back at during the reading. Vocabulary Words (x5) Introduce the five words, best doing it one at a time. Start by saying it, while students repeat and then see if anyone knows what it means before reading further. Read through the meaning and try to briefly connect each word to a picture or gesture so it’s meaningful. Ask students to flip through the book pages and point to where they see each of the vocabulary words. While reading the book pause upon coming across one of the vocab words or read the sentence twice to make sure students understand the word has appeared. Optional: Ask students to raise hands whenever they see/hear one of the new words. Guided Reading Pages (x10) Check the book snapshot (below) for: primary topic - do you need to prep extra reading or intro materials on this? what is taught best - decide on 1-2 bullets to focus on, use the prompt or words provided here for best results. learning goals - what you are checking for students to be able to do after the session, elicit answers using prompts or words provided. key vocabulary (see section above). questions overview - so you know what is coming up and if you need to prep extra materials to assist understanding. Run the lesson You may have already looked at a few of the pages together, but you can show them some of the pictures again first to set meaning. Depending on how much time you have and how familiar your students are with guided reading class, you may want to read the book aloud first with the group first. Students whisper or partner read, while you listen in. If time, do it as a group, one student reading a page each. Use the guided page’s prompts to coach: “Check the picture / does it make sense?” “Point under the words / try the first sound” “Reread the sentence smoothly”. Try to focus more on one student per session (rotating every time), so you can work out if they are ready to move up or need to move down a level. Comprehension Questions (back cover x3) This is your way to check that students didn’t just say the words, but actually understood the text. First, let students answer by pointing to the page/picture and saying a short sentence. After any answer, follow with: “Show me where you found that in the text.” In bigger groups, have partners answer first (10–20 seconds), then call on 2–3 students to share. Differentiation tips: Emerging speakers/struggling readers: oral + pointing On-level: oral in a full sentence Higher: one written sentence or draw + label Book Snapshot Title: The Long Journey of a Comet Genre: Nonfiction (informational) Subject: Earth & Space Science Primary Topic: Comets: composition, orbit, coma, and tails Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): N What This Book Teaches Best What comets are and what they’re made of (a “dirty snowball” mixture of ice, dust, and rock). How comets travel through the solar system, including long, oval-shaped orbits and time spent in the Kuiper Belt. What changes when a comet nears the Sun, including sublimation and the formation of a glowing coma. How solar wind and radiation create two tails that point away from the Sun, and how dust and ion tails differ. Why comets matter to scientists, described as “time capsules” that help scientists learn about the universe’s history. Learning Goals Students can describe what a comet is and identify materials the text says it contains. Students can explain what the nucleus is using details from the book. Students can describe what happens as a comet moves closer to the Sun, including sublimation and coma formation. Students can explain why a comet’s tails form and why they point away from the Sun. Students can compare the dust tail and the ion tail using text details. Students can explain what scientists can learn by studying comets, according to the text. Key Vocabulary From the Text mixture — different things combined together. nucleus — the solid center part of a comet. sublimation — when ice turns directly into gas. radiation — energy that travels out from the Sun. distinct — clearly different from something else. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What do you think happens to a comet as it travels closer to the Sun? Comprehension questions: What does the text say a comet is made of? According to the text, what causes a comet to form a coma? What does the text say scientists can learn by studying comets? Printing Tips 1.
